Sorry one more Q, is it possible o change the rear plastic on the soft top, its gone cloudy and rear visibility isn't good.. if not is there a good way to clean it, thinking of wet n dry as to how we clean the light clusters from all the dirt they pick up.. similar approach or no ?

I got the car bought chaps! Well, made a deal the seller has headed off to the Le Man 24hr so will be picking up mid next week ish Went down last Sunday and gave it a long test drive and it was fantastic, pulled like a train and was surprising planted. Quite happy with it. When I get it il...

Hi thanks for the reply chaps.. The CL doesn't do any of the above sadly, turning the key unlocks rhe drivers side door but not rhe passenger side, fuel filler cap is open. It seems to me the whole system is caput! If so assuming I should start by investigating through vacuum pump, are the...

Hi guys By way of an update I went to see this car again and must say it ran far better than expected, needed a jump but everything works inside,engine and box felt nice and smooth and the ride was great Soft top works fine also, albeit the material not being the prettiest, the internal metal...

Thank you Dr Nick ! From the Simpsons?! Sorry I couldn't resist haha

Thank you Sir, appreciate it. I do hope I get a decent one, otherwise the sentiment and work required may turn to heart ache very quickly !

Well articulated Fact is I've always loved the 129, whether it appreciates or not is not really relevant, I want to enjoy the car now, I want to share it with my father who, had to give up his prized car many moons ago for my education, so the value in this is sentimental and the "work" the car...

J Good point, did cross my mind when inswe rhem both, told me the fstory as to why he has 2 and so no, it hasn't been butchered thankfully Just seen another pre face lift with less mileage and the pano hard top also in Blue, looks lovely with the beige interior also.

Thank you all for your input here, I know its a car that needs a bit of work and the seller made that clear hence the price, he has 2 of them and is keeping one of them hence the sale. He has done an MOT on the car a few wks ago and it apparently flew through, no advisors apart from a note that...

Holy thread revival! 4 freaking years down the line and I'm still SL-less, I've had a kid in 2019 so that's stopped the purchase of a highly practical 2 door convertible LOL! Anyway here we are again, been in touch with lovely chap whose looking to sell his 320. It's a 2001 plate, car seems...

I've removed the E240 but kept the star on the back, and removed the standing star for a flat black badge on the front.

Have this on the daily driver as i have fettled with it enough already, as said above it sort of needs to go with the cars aesthetics, i.e i wouldn't put these on a car that has not been modified in any shape or form, i'd prefer standard plates

Morning all, hope you are all keeping safe and well. I think i'm just after a bit of sense check here! I have my daily driver which is a W211 E240, totally happy with it.. looking for a weekend cruiser.. My grandma is currently in a care home and opposite the home is pretty derelict house...

HI All Hope all are well Have a W211 E class, and are expecting our first in the next couple of months time an went to mothercare to buy some car seat. As I have no isofix I found the one I wanted, but when she came to fit it to the car she did not recommend it, as due to the inline of the...

Hi All Similar problem to the above post, have an 03 W211, has the pano roof, the inside blind works totally fine, and the main roof did open and close but i only took it half way open as it would open very slowly and seems like there was a lot of friction, and felt that if i did fully open it...

Thanks for you replies gents.. let see what happens when i go to see it, ultimately see if the wife likes it

Thank you for that Mark Jay! that's very helpful, i'll get over there tonight with the wife and take it for a spin, and see how she feels about it, TBH its a tie me over until soon enough when we have children at which point we will probably change it again, she's just beginning to hate the...
